DVD Review "BRINGING OUT THE DEAD" Score; C+
Now although we have a great director in Scorsese and a mostly great cast this film strangely falls apart almost from the beginning. This one is all over the place and in a way reminded me of Natual Born Killers. There are tons of moments of WTF in this. And some of the characters are just outlandish. A funny note is that Scorsese himself is often the voice on the Ambulance dispatch radio. Throughout this movie I kept thinking are most EMT's this fucked up in the head? Is this in anyway a depiction of New York ambulance workers on the Graveyard shift? I really think not, what I think it was is a writer's wacky view of this job and with Scorsese, Cage and the other cast they created a weird oddball movie about it.
